------------------------------
Team Analysis
Fredrikstad will host Premier League giants Crystal Palace in the second leg of this UEFA Conference League play-off. In the first leg in London, Fredrikstad suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat, which gives them a glimmer of hope for a comeback at home. However, Crystal Palace did not play at their full potential in the first match and are well aware that a one-goal lead is not a comfortable margin, so they will be looking to secure the win away from home. Fredrikstad is currently a mid-table team in their domestic Norwegian league, while Crystal Palace has a good track record in the Premier League. The overall quality gap between the two teams is significant.
Player Situation
Crystal Palace is going through a tumultuous summer, with key player Eberechi Eze having transferred to Arsenal, which is a huge blow to their offense. In addition, several key players are out with injuries, including Cheick Doucouré, Eddie Nketiah, and Chadi Riad. For Fredrikstad, starting goalkeeper Valdemar Birksø missed the first leg due to injury, and it is expected that reserve goalkeeper Martin Børsheim will start again. While both squads are not at their best, Crystal Palace still has a clear advantage in squad depth.
Nowgoal Prediction
Despite playing away from home and dealing with injuries, Crystal Palace's overall quality, tactical discipline, and individual player talent are far superior to Fredrikstad's. The home team must attack to have a chance at advancing, which could expose their defensive weaknesses. Crystal Palace may exploit these spaces to score on the counter-attack. We expect Crystal Palace to control the pace of the match and ultimately win, securing their progression with a comfortable aggregate score.
Prediction: Crystal Palace win, score 0-2
